Legion PvP Season 2 Begins on December 13; PvP Season Not Tied to 7.1.5 Release

Blizzard has announced that Legion PvP Season 2 will begin on December 13th! Usually PvP seasons are tied to the start of a new raid or major patch, in addition to some downtime in between seasons. However it looks like Blizzard is shaking things up, as part of their plan to have more frequent seasons and varied content.\r\rCheck out our Legion Season 1 and Prestige Rewards guide if you want to get started PvPing! Prestige ranks will not reset in between seasons; you will be able to hit Prestige level 8 and acquire an additional round of mounts, pets, artifact appearances, and more! \r\rYou can also acquire a variety of transmog sets, which are recolors of raid gear, as you PvP. The Season 1 and Fearless Gladiator Season 2 gear will look identical.\r\r\rWith today\u2019s announcement of the end of Legion\u2019s first PvP season on December 13, we\u2019d like to clarify a few extra details.\r\rThe Elite PvP gear appearance will be the same in Legion Season 2 as it is in Season 1. If you are unable to complete your set in Season 1, you\u2019ll still be able to collect your missing appearances during Season 2.\r\rAdditionally, after Legion Season 2 concludes, we\u2019ll be adding the ability to purchase the complete Elite appearance set from a vendor. This will only be made available to players who have earned access to the Elite set by reaching a PvP rating of 2000 or higher in any Rated Battleground or Arena bracket during Legion Season 1 or 2.\r\rFinally, we\u2019d like to clarify that the end of Legion Season 1 and beginning of Legion Season 2 are not tied in any way to the release of Patch 7.1.5. One of our major goals for Rated PvP in Legion is to have PvP seasons change over more regularly, which means we can now transition between seasons without requiring a patch. This transition will occur prior to the release of Patch 7.1.5.\r\r\rAttention all Arena and Battleground competitors! On December 13 at 6 a.m. PST, Legion PvP Season 1 will come to a close. But the battle will pick up just two hours later at 8 a.m. PST, when Legion PvP Season 2 begins! \rSeason 1 \u2013 End of Season RewardsIf you participated in Season 1, in order to ensure you receive the rewards that you\u2019re due, please keep the following in mind:\r\r Refrain from transferring your character(s) to another realm or faction until after Legion Season 1 has ended.\r Legion Season 1 titles and mounts will be awarded approximately two weeks after the season ends.\r\rSeason 2 BeginsWith Legion Season 2, the maximum number of times you can Prestige will increase from 4 to 8. Furthermore, weekly Rated Quest rewards will increase to the following values:\r \r \r \rLast Week's Rating\r \rBase Item Level\r \rAppearance\r\r \r 0 - 1399\r 855\r Gladiator\r\r \r 1400 - 1599\r 865\r Gladiator\r\r \r 1600 - 1799\r 875\r Gladiator\r\r \r 1800 - 1999\r 880\r Gladiator\r\r \r 2000 - 2199\r 885\r Elite\r\r \r 2200 - 2399\r 890*\r Elite\r\r \r 2400+\r 900*\r Elite\r \r*Item levels 890 and 900 above will become available when the Nighthold raid opens.The item level of PvP gear rewards from Skirmish, Battleground, Arena, and Rated Battlegrounds victories will increase with Season 2, but the transmog look will remain the same as Season 1.\rFaction-based RewardsDon\u2019t forget\u2014end-of-season rewards are based on your faction nowadays. The top 0.5% of Alliance PvPers will be awarded the Gladiator: Legion Season 1 achievement and mount (Dragon des tempêtes du gladiateur vindicatif), and the same will go to the top 0.5% of Horde PvPers. If you transfer your character to the other faction, you must have 50 wins after your transfer to receive the reward.Now get out there and fight to the finish!

Anyone know if you'll be able to buy the transmog from S1 for Marks of Honor? I'm guessing no since its still the same mog, but if anyone knows for sure, do tell! :D

Will we still be able to obtain the prestige 4 mount after the season starts?

... Which means we can expect patch \r7.1.5 to release December 13th.\r\rIt's possible it's related to 7.1.5 but I think 7.1.5 is still a bit off because we've had 1 real build and 1 incomplete build so far, also missing a lot of the class changes. A lot of the Season 2 items were already added in 7.1 (kind of like Nighthold is already live in the data at launch) so Blizzard could technically put the season live anytime.

Will we still be able to obtain the prestige 4 mount after the season starts?\r\rYou can earn all of the prestige rewards anytime. It's just good to start early because you'll have to do a lot of grinding for the higher-tier rewards from later seasons.

Nope, Nighthold is already in just needs to be turned on. Though I appreciate the assumption that Nighthold will open on the 13th as well. I don't that think that will be the case. There are 3 more quest stages to complete and they have been released weekly. In other words Nighthold is probably 3 weeks away.

So I think they want us to do the final three weeks of the quest, let people relax on the holidays and not push progression, and then raid Nighthold a few weeks later.

Season 2 gear will be identical to Season 1 gear? I love Legion and how amazing all the new 3D gear looks, but I feel like that's just lazy.

Crap! I haven't even started the Prestige grind! I'm not a big pvper but I really want the artifact appearances! Too much to do in this expansion!\r\rDon't suppose anyone has any advise on the best way to get honor?

As a pet collector the introduction of Season 2 marks the first pets that are in game that are beyond my reach. I do not like PVP but achieved Prestige level 1 via Towers and was trying to grind the other Season 1 levels the same way but have given up as doing them every day on two chars was having a serious impact on my enjoyment of the game.\r\rIf I just needed to do I char I could look at doing wider PVP but twice would be a nightmare (for me).

For those who dont like pvp, or dont have a lot of time to grind, i would suggest doing the pvp World Quests. 3 tower WQs per day is 300 honor each(900 total per day) and one free for all world pvp quest show up every 6 hours for 500 honor(2000 honor if you can get all 4 done per day. For just doing world quests(if you get them all done every day) takes 18 days for 50 honor levels.

(Free for all, more for me)

We are talking about the bronze version. As a new one is to come for the new season.

You should double-check with Blizzard if you are unsure, but it is very unlikely it is going away because other rewards like Artifact Tints aren't going away, and Blizzard included no warning about prestige rewards in their posts (which did talk about other types of PvP rewards changing).
